Today I got an email telling me I was in the top 5% of LinkedIn profile views for 2012. Is that crazy or what? I did decide I wanted to have 1000 contacts by the end of 2012. I decided this around 10/1/12, and I think I had about 500 contacts. I was able to achieve my goal pretty easily. I'm sure that has had something to do with my number of views. It will be interesting to see if I can maintain this status in 2013.
